Where you will work

At Haskoning, you will join an independent, employee-owned international consultancy that combines engineering, design, and consultancy services with software and technology.

As our new Information Security Engineer, you will become part of the corporate group Digital & Workplace Solutions (DWS) in the Netherlands. DWS provides services to the internal organisation, enabling colleagues to serve their clients in the best possible way.

DWS’s activities are divided across three domains: Enterprise IT & Services, Real Estate & Facility, and Digital & AI. In addition, there is a separate team for information security.

This role will be part of the Information Security team, which we are building to professionalise cyber security and significantly increase organisational maturity. The team works closely with IT Operations & Service Management, architecture, external providers, business stakeholders and Risk & Compliance to improve cyber fundamentals, detection and response, and practical control implementation.

What you will bring

• Solid hands-on experience in security engineering, infrastructure security or enterprise cyber operations.
• Experience in complex enterprise environments and collaboration with outsourced service providers.
• Strong understanding of modern technical controls, monitoring, identity-related controls and secure configuration.
• Pragmatic, solution-oriented and comfortable operating in a small senior team with broad responsibility.
• Able to explain technical security topics in clear English and Dutch.

Education and certifications

• Completed relevant education (Bachelor's degree) in cyber security, computer science or information technology.
• Certifications such as Security+, CISSP, AZ-500, SC-200, SC-300, CCSP or equivalent are preferred.
• Knowledge of technical control implementation, detection use cases and enterprise IT security practices.
